About me

Whether on stage, screen, paper, in person, or online, I am a storyteller.
I am a big-picture person with passions for justice and creative problem-solving. I believe in maintaining a good sense of humour.
From award-winning speeches and editorials to poetry chapbooks and charity albums, I devote most of my time to exploring new ideas, sounds, people, conversations, places, and stories. I am interested in little bits of everything.
I am an early riser and night owl (thank you, caffeine). I am good at listening and critical thinking. I enjoy efficient, collaborative work and making people laugh. I will find the good in any situation.
I am an actor and musician with experience ranging from short film and site-specific Shakespeare to Andrew Lloyd Weber and women's verbatim theatre. I serve as the Artistic Director of The Monologues Project and have written several albums under pseudonyms Lauren Elle and Moral Circus. I am currently writing and recording a charity EP for We Heart Arts, a UK-based nonprofit for young persons’ art projects.
I recently moved to London and enjoy inventing desserts (current favourite: mango sticky rice), reading nonfiction in Greenwich Park, playing music with my husband, and exploring the nooks and crannies of this fantastic city.
